A senior Hamas official on Thursday accused Israel of flouting the ceasefire by having killed at least 24 people in shootings since Friday, and said a list of such violations was handed over to mediators, Reuters reports.

He said:

The occupying state is working day and night to undermine the agreement through its violations on the ground.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to the Hamas accusations. It has previously said some Palestinians have ignored warnings not to approach Israeli ceasefire positions and troops “opened fire to remove the threat”.

    You can criticize and condemn Hamas war crimes without stripping them of the right to resist occupation. The occupation forces have always retaliated more strongly against any act of retaliation, legitimate or not.

    Hamas said they accept the two-state solution with the pre-67 borders and are willing to give up power. Even if they are lying, Hamas would lose all support from Palestinians, and a free Palestine with an army—which our complicit countries oppose—would take charge to fight them. So if you really want no Hamas, keep pushing your leaders to sanction Israel, stop giving it diplomatic protection, impose a two-sided arms embargo, do your job, and continue BDS to the maximum extent you can afford.
